About Us
The purpose of READS-TO-GO is to offer the opportunity for New Hampshire libraries to support and encourage the formation of book discussion groups with the intent to connect people through reading. Our plan is to accomplish this by providing access to book discussion kits for use by libraries and the communities they serve.
The concept of READS-TO-GO originated from the READS Roundtable Discussions held in March of 2006 titled “The Nuts and Bolts of Book Groups”. As a result of those discussions it was clear that librarians felt there was a need for Book Discussion kits composed of hot new titles that could be circulated throughout the state to support book discussion groups held in libraries as well as local book discussion groups.
A steering committee was formed in September of 2006 charged with the task of developing the READS-TO-GO program. After eight months of concentrated effort the READS-TO-GO program was launched at the NHLA Spring conference. We hope the information on this web page will address any questions you may have about the program as well as provide downloadable materials that you can print for use in your library.
